Photo by Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News Utah dominated through the first 75 years of the Utah-BYU football series. The Cougars didnt get their first win until 1942.

Later BYU ruled for two decades, until the early 1990s when Utah managed three wins in a row, effectively changing the rivalry into a 50-50 proposition. The teams went 7-7 in the next 14 years.

Now Utah is on a 3-game win streak.

Which raises the question of exactly how much of Utah and BYUs 117-year series matter? Is it the overall record, which Utah leads 56-34-4 (BYU records say Utah leads 53-31-4)? Or something more recent?
